Finding love during the pandemic isn’t easy.
So dating app Tinder is testing a new video chat feature, in hopes of making it a little bit easier.
The feature will begin in Virginia, Illinois, Georgia and Colorado.
Tinder will also test in in a dozen other countries, including Australia, France, South Korea and Chile.
People can indicate they’re interested in a video date on a match-by-match basis.
If both parties say they’re ready to video chat, the function will be unlocked within the chat.
Unlike a regular video chat, the face to face feature splits the screen equally between the two parties.
Other dating apps such as Bumble and Hinge, have already incorporated the capability.
